Keller @ Large: Auditor Suzanne Bump On Government Accountability

BOSTON (CBS) -- State Auditor Suzanne Bump sat down with WBZ-TV political analyst Jon Keller to talk government accountability and sexism in politics on Sunday's Keller @ Large.

"I'm concerned that we don't have a very good definition of accountability in government," Bump said. "We aren't good at setting performance metrics and holding agencies to those metrics."

Bump is the first woman auditor of Massachusetts and one of the few women to be win statewide office. When asked to name an example of sexism in politics, she cited a fixation with a female candidate's appearance.

"Some people think it's complimentary to women," Bump said. "Most women like myself find it trivializing."

Bump also discussed her views on the Pacheco law, and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
